Oct 18: photo of the month

October is nothing if you don’t get a few rainy days and so it was on Sunday the 14th so lots of cliche photo opportunities. I like this one because it’s just about right, subject in focus and nicely standing out from the background, although maybe I should crop in a little from the left.

The photo was taken using my Sony alpha 77 II with the zoom on 70mm, f5.6 at 1/125th. For some reason I’ve increased the shadows a little in Lightroom.
